Gov't gay marriage plans

[Basil]

No she is worth everything and anything but what we entered into was something that was between a man and a women till death us do part. That has now been hijacked by some of the more militant parts of our society that have been slowly eating away at the standards by which I and many who feel the same, live and personally I do not like it, it has further devalued societys standards IMO.

AND!!!! - one of her sons is a PRIEST!

 

(sarc most definitely ON!)

I'm clearly going to have to start watching that programme - it seems to be on everybody's lips and I haven't a clue what they're on about! (lol)

 

 

It is not to everyone’s taste - but I find it refreshingly funny in an old fashioned sort of way - it can also be very crude. But if you want a taster of one of the funniest bits:-

Brilliant! The tears were rolling down my cheeks - I'm going to have to watch it now! (lol)

I had both series one and two recorded - but I understand it is worth getting the two DVD's as there are out-takes and other bits that are worth it.

 

I would say the humour is a bit variable - but its overall "freshness" is what makes it worthwhile - which is strange given the 'retro' method of filming in front of a live audience.

Why Basil?

 

Is your good lady worth any less to you now than she was before?

 

8-)

Perhaps he's removed the price he had on her head. (lol)

[CliveH]

(lol)

 

Not sure I could cope without my partner now! 8-)

 

I probably would if I had to

 

But we always chuckle when we see other couples struggle and argue over putting up an awning for example (especially if it all happens so we can see it from the comfort of ours!!!!!!!! B-) ) not in an unkind way - but in recognition that we have been there done that - but now we have a system such that each knows what to do. Our awning is up and sorted in a short time indeed.

 

We are soon sitting in it enjoying a cuppa/beer/glass of vino.

 

As a metaphor for life - sometimes an awning an awning seems to work.

I have no problem with gays, its straight people who give me problems and I have no problems with gays getting married in church, is not a church a house of god and did not god create his children in his own likeness? If heterosexual people are considered to be 'normal' and gay people considered to be 'abnormal' then somewhere along the line god has dropped a bollock in his creations, are we not equal in the eyes of the lord?

[nightrider]

A couple of things that have intrigued me, when you see the 'camp' type gays as in like Rory Mrs Browns son, they appear to be soft and gentle, then you have the aggressive promiscuous type homosexuals and then you have the type of queer that pursues and abuses youngsters this type looks quite ordinary not looking overtly homosexual as in looking like jimmy Saville, is there are difference??

If you look at straight men (or women) you also get a wide variety of "types", which I think answers the question. It always strikes me as amusing that there are a lot of men who think that any gay man they meet wants to have sex with them, when they don't think the same of heterosexual women! :-D

[CliveH]

One of the funniest things I heard about was a chap who was very anti-gay who was in the same group of mates as my eldest son.

 

One of his favourite sayings to anyone who disagreed with him - on any subject - was "Well you can kiss my arse!"

 

One night in the pub one of the girls in the group asked him why if he was so anti gay that he was inviting all and sundry to "kiss his bottom".

 

The whole place erupted in laughter!

Another thing to remember, is why you were born in the first place. That is to have children, and pass your, your partners, and all your ancestors genes on to the next generation . By not having children not only are you letting down your ancestors, you are not adding to the human gene resistance structure . Difficult to have children in same sex marriages I think.

Brian B.

 

ps. Perhaps I should have said two males marriage.

 

I got married in church and had no intention of ever having children. In fact I had the snip two weeks before I got married at the age of 27 (it wasnt easy convincing my GP to allow this). Does this mean I have let down the human race and my marriage is a sham? I dont think so. This country is too over populated as it is and as for some other parts of the world even more so.

 

Some people say we are selfish not having kids. They could be the ones stuck at home with screaming smelly little brats to take care of while we spend half our life trundling around Europe in a motorhome having fun. No Regrets!!

 

I dont have an issue with Gay people getting married in church if thats what they want. I realise it will upset a lot of people but things are changing. People cant help their sexuality. To them its natural the way they are. There are too many serious issues in the world to worry about and this isnt one of them.

People in the third world have big families as a form of insurence when they are older and connot look after themselves, by choosing not to have a family, you may, in years to come find that you may have shot yourself in the foot???

What and miss up on the chance to be a dirty old man in a nursing home??

 

Ill take the risk.

 

I have to say though I do sometimes envy people with large close families. Both our parents and most of my close relatives are dead and we have very little close family at all. Neither of us regrets this decision though. The last 20 years (since we got married) have been an absolute blast. The downside for Mrs D however is that I have never grown up or accepted any real responsibility. I have little in common with my friends anymore who are all bringing up families but heyho.

 

Sorry gone off topic banging on about myself again! *-)

The problem is that the churches are owned and run by groups who believe that marriage should only be between a man and a woman. So when you get one group that wants to do this, and another that feels it cannot oblige, then where do you finish things? Both sides have equal human rights. The other thing I feel is that marriage has been on the go for thousands of years but acceptability of gay couples has only been within the last few decades, and even now is still not anywhere near 100%. It is therefore possible that the gay lobby is pushing too far too fast, and maybe would have had better acceptance if they allowed the majority to adjust in time. I also feel that the Government has pushed this to the top of the agenda for reasons other than any desire to equalise rights and thus makes me suspicious.

[Barryd999]

I think thats a very good appraisal of the situation Dave. Your probably right. Maybe it is too much too fast. I dont have a problem with it but its clearly going to upset a lot of people. Telling them to just get over themselves is not much worse than telling Gay people they cant get married in a church. It could well cause upset for church members who have been loyal to their church for many years. Its a no win situation at the moment I suppose.

 

It will happen though. 20 years from now it will be accepted as perfectly normal.

Here here Dave.....unfortunately too many these days grow up being told they can have 'everything'.  Aeons ago my mother used to tell me 'You can scream and shout as much as you like you're still not having it (whatever 'it' was).  These days equate that to 'minorities' who want to bring about 'change' and you get what we have seen in the last few days.  A minority group that has brought about a change in, what for the majority is a sacred union of man and woman in the eyes of God (I'm not religious by the way but hey there's no such thing as an atheist on the battlefield). 

 

From all reports the majority of homosexuals and lesbians (trying to reclaim the word 'Gay' here) are not in the least concerned about forcing this change to the 'marriage' laws.  For them a civil union is sufficient.  It is those who shout loudest that have won here.

I still can't get my head around the government spending so much time on what is in reality such a minor issue with major repercussions when there are many more pressing matters to be given parliamentary time.  if it was 'Hug me Daves' or 'Calamity Cleggs' intention to garner the homosexual/lesbian vote they may well have succeeded but in the process they have probably lost thousands if not millions of heterosexual/church going peoples votes.  Mine for one.

 

[Guest Had Enough]

Members in Chatterbox are quite right. This gay marriage nonsense could spell the end of civilisation as we know it. It won’t be long now before people are blatantly living together without being married. They’ll start having children out of wedlock as well. As one person said ‘My marriage is going to feel devalued’. It really is awful!

 

Young girls will be getting pregnant and expecting the state to provide housing and benefits and very soon we’ll find that, on Friday and Saturday nights, our city centre streets are going to be full of young, scantily-clad people vomiting in the gutter and passing out drunk on the pavement.

 

As a result of this, pornography will become freely available on the Internet and the next thing is that we’ll be hearing the F word on TV every night.

 

Right now we have a perfect society where heterosexual couples get engaged and then get married before living together. Mark my words, all that will change when all these gays start wanting to get married. Society will collapse and we’ll all drown in a cesspit of corruption. Family life will disintegrate, the role of the church in our lives will disappear, along with the churches of course, and the entire middle-class white heterosexual populace will emigrate to Afghanistan, where homosexuality is still considered the most grievous sin and these awful gays are stoned to death every Tuesday.

 

And RogerC is bang on. Usurping the word ‘gay’ will damage the English language for generations. We’ve seen it already, further and farther, once different words, are now synonymous. Fabulous now means something completely different from its original intention.

 

Cool, and mint and wicked have already acquired whole new meanings and I’m sure that Roger lies awake all night worrying about this semantic shift, as it’s known. It’s all just a few more nails in the coffin of British life!

 

So, there is no hope for Britain, we’re all doomed. Get out while you can and, wherever you go, remember to watch out for those pesky queers in case they somehow infect you with their trendy liberal philosophy.
